Prolific, gritty garage folk trio The Wave Pictures descend on the legendary Ferret stage for a night of dreamy alt-rock sounds.
To buy tickets for this event please visit our events page: The Wave Pictures tickets from Skiddle.
Inspired by the tongue-in-cheek confessionalism of the Smiths, solo Morrissey, and the scrappy D.I.Y. aesthetic of the C-86 school, the Wave Pictures began in 1998 in the tiny rural village of Wymeswold in northern Leicestershire.
Heavily influenced by their parents' classic rock record collections and John Peel's indie-centric radio show, lead singer and guitarist David Tattersall, bassist Franic Rozycki, and drummer Hugh J. Noble were first called Blind Summit, then changed to the Wave Pictures when Noble left the band for university. With the addition of drummer Jonny "Huddersfield" Helm, The Wave Pictures took their final form.
The Guardian has described their work as "charming, witty pop songs shot through with Jonathan Richman’s gawky glee and Suede's doomed provincial romanticism... They owe a certain debt to The Smiths, and Tattersall has Morrissey's knack of marrying the ridiculous and the sublime".
Granfalloon:
Granfalloon is the musical project of artist and producer Richard Lomax. Lomax moves between alt-folk acoustica, and lo-fi electronica - focusing on traditional songwriting and not quite traditional storytelling to chisel out small, beautiful moments.
